A gentle orphaned Inca Dove named Little Bird fascinates a UT student and family as it adapts to life with a wild flock. The bird chats constantly, socializes with people, and even helps in the garden while resisting roosting with other birds at night.
Hazel C describes a young bird that imprinted on a human, slept on a twig in a Big Oak, then hunted neighbors while the authors were away. The piece explains imprinting as a behavior concept in ethology, noting the bird’s self sufficiency despite predators and pets.
A fragmented report covers animal imprinting in humans and animals, a three month old chick named Little Bird, and a note on beer attracting slugs versus methaldehyde bait from Beltsville. It also recounts Seattle Times staff collecting Ladybugs, purchasing 100,000 from a California supplier, and packaging challenges.
The article notes new protections for eleven birds and lists currently protected species. It mentions fines and jail for harming unprotected birds and cites hawks and falcons requiring permits. It also observes seasonal bird movements and colorful Painted Buntings with both male and female plumage.
